[tri-med] Re: the bleeding stoma

So glad to know the extra gauze pads are helping! Grrr to having to  
wade through doctors.... It's SO frustrating when it takes forever to  
find the one who can actually answer your question!

?You God formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my  
mother. I praise you, for I was fearfully and wonderfully made.  
Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. My Trisomy body  
was not hidden from you when I was being made in secret, intricately  
woven together. Your eyes saw me as I was. In your book were written  
every one of those details. You knew every day that was made for me  
even when there was not yet one of them.? (Psalm 139:13-16,  
paraphrased by my Dad when Keren died)
